Outreach

My students and I are dedicated to showing, particularly to young students, that computing is an exciting field with an enormous opportunity to impact our lives. We’ve given numerous demonstrations of our research for government agencies, the local community, and K-12 educational institutions, where we encourage students to pursue studies and careers in STEM fields.

K-12 Outreach

Start Early program: High school research opportunities in the Ubicomp Lab. The Ubicomp Lab invites a select number of high school students from the Seattle area to conduct an intense 8-10 week long research project during the summer. I created this program because I was fortunate to be involved in research as a high school student and it was an incredible experience. I want to be able to share that with others. The application process begins in April of each year [application link].

K-12 School Visits and Lab Tours: My students and I enjoy visiting schools around Seattle and even around the country to talk about our research (health and sustainability) and to discuss STEM opportunities. The Ubicomp Lab has hosted over 300 students in the last two years.
